Description
Written by British composer George Butterworth in 1913, this classic work is based on two folk songs "The Banks of Green Willow" and "Green Bushes" (the latter also appearing in works by Grainger and Vaughan Williams). Butterworth died in World War I at the age of 31, and this composition remains his most popular, regarded as an anthem for "Unknown Soldiers." Here is a masterful setting for winds adapted by Robert Longfield. Dur: 3:50
